6. I like that. I really think there is something to it. To the isolation we all feel these days.

Even if we have families, most of us are so spread out we don't really have the day to day support like they did back in the day. I remember when I was a child, going to my grandmother's house with her large extended Italian family feeling so safe and protected and warm. I love my independence, but it has definitely been a trade off. I sometimes long for that feeling back in my grandmother's kitchen.
